Working with Expired Film
When the clouds come out I love to put a polarizing filter on my Nikon F3 and shoot with slide film. Film looks less crisp than digital, a bit more like a painting, it seems to me. Plus, I love to work with a well made classic metal camera. It’s a slower, more meditative way of photographing. Below are some recent Spring photos I took within a five minute walk from my back door. I used Kodak Elite 200. It has expired, but the former owner kept it in a refrigerator, and so have I, so it produces nicely saturated exposures. The “Fire in Spring” photo is a double exposure of Crocus blossoms superimposed on the bark of a Tulip Poplar tree.
Hi Davis. I liked your pictures very much. I am praying for the day they start putting your pictures in museums.
Thanks, Nihat. You are very kind. I have lots of fun taking photos, and I try to pass along the beauty that I see in God’s creation.
